Monroe to use FSD technology
http://www.tenneco.com/assets/1/7/52...chure-9.12.pdf
Old marketing press, but it states that Tenneco (Monroe) has now licensed the FSD technology from Koni.
What does this mean for us?
Well, Monroe's OESpectrum line already makes shocks/struts for our model (well, GTS shocks), meaning once FSD rolls out to their lines eventually this will mean we may see FSD shocks for our application.
Am I just engaging in wishful thinking?
Yeah.
I test drove an Abarth 500 (that uses FSD struts up front stock) and was very impressed by the fact that it displayed fantastic ride comfort plus despite being a taller and narrower car, exhibited less body roll than a stock Ralliart.
I'm about a year away from coilover purchase so I can afford to wait and see if these Monroe-badged FSD shocks ever come our way!
